Hi:

I am displaying views from SQL Server constructed by someone else.  He has aliased the column names to English language names that can be understood by the end user.  However, the spaces in the names are being replaced by underscores.  So for instance, "Patient Admission Date" becomes "Patient_Admission_Date".  Is this something that WCF RIA services is doing or is the grid doing it?

Any idea how to make things work the way I want?

Thanks,

Terry

Hello Terry,

You can subscribe to the AutoGeneratingColumn event of the gridview and replace the _ with a space:

private void gridView_AutoGeneratingColumn(object sender, GridViewAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs e)
{
    e.Column.Header = ((string) e.Column.Header).Replace("_", " ");
}

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Veskoni
